Do you understand the point of terrorism? The end goal is not to kill people. There are plenty of more effective methods to kill people than they've been using. No, the end goal is to cause TERROR. They want us to be afraid to live our lives. Security Theater does more to cause terror in the minds of the people than it does to deter terrorists from committing these crimes. People in the US are starting to believe its reasonable to prevent tourists from taking pictures from a moving train. As though taking these photos are somehow going to threaten our lives. How does this help?
